    [LPJDesign] OGL 3.5 logo created to replace D20 Logo for 3rd Party Publishers

    I'd agree with that. Customers are looking for things that work with the "3.5 SRD". Pushing the SRD (the fantasy rules) as a system name would be better than pushing the OGL (a licence) as a brand name. I think it might also be helpful to have an alternate logo for old PDF products that are...

    New GSL Announcement

    I think that what you say here is pretty fair, Clark. I believe that gamers should have the right to be able to buy old stuff and convert it over to 4th edition. I'd even go further than this and ask for WotC to strike up a new agreement for the Dragonlance PDFs made by Margaret Weis...

    D&D 4E Would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies?

    I voted other - here's why: I think there is a fundamental flaw in WotCs marketing plan. WotC is totally focused on rules and pays too little attention to the importance of setting. I am a fan of D&D from the 2nd edition days when there were lots of campaign settings. Specifically, I'm a...

    D&D 4E From the 4e MM preview: Astraljamming?!

    I think I'd still like to see a full on setting (or a pair of settings) of some sort, but putting this inot the core rules would also be good. If Spelljamming was available under the GSL, then any third party publisher who signed up, could make their own crystal sphere or their own planewalking...

    D&D 4E From the 4e MM preview: Astraljamming?!

    It was already possible to combine Spelljamming and Planewalking in 2nd edition rules. I'd like to see WotC do something with this, but the two should remain separate. Planejamming ships should be much rarer than either spacefarers or planewalkers. On top of that, I prefer the one material...

    Flying manta-ray creature?

    I don't suppose you are talking about the Spaakiil from The Ultimate Helm. They were manta ray shaped and seem to have some sort of telepathic power, but I'm not sure about any other sort of magical ability.

    Dragonlance Unconverted Dragonlance creatures

    ...and... Fair point from you both. Sorry to the Whitestone Council, when that remark should have been restricted to MWP. Actually, given that MWP only had a finite time with the DL licence, I don't think it is a bad thing that they missed out stuff that they thought was less useful. I'm not...

    Unconverted Forgotten Realms creatures

    Thanks for the clarification on stuff. I'm only answering this bit, because your other comments don't really need an answer (other than "ah right - I see now" :D ). I must admit, I'm as baffled as you are. Candlekeep is the leading FR fansite and even has FR authors hanging around on their...

    Dragonlance Unconverted Dragonlance creatures

    Dragonlance Nexus - built by tinker gnomes - run by gully dwarves! :p ;) I can highly recommend hunting down the threads in those forums that have fan artwork. There are a bunch of artists that are doing artwork for the Dragonlance Lexicon (Dragonlance Nexus's encyclopedia of all things DL)...

    Unconverted Forgotten Realms creatures

    Have you checked Candlekeep for conversions yet? Someone I've spoken to at the DL forums thinks that a lot of these have already been done somewhere. You should really post these games on the Dragonlance and Dark Sun threads, as more people over there will know about them. I believe that the...

    Dragonlance Unconverted Dragonlance creatures

    I'd actualy turn Dragonhelm's invitation around and make it a request, Echohawk. If you know of any conversions that are missing from the Nexus Bestiary, please submit them to the Nexus. Dragonlance Nexus is the leading DL fan website (and according to the WotC forums it is the official...

    Dragonlance Unconverted Dragonlance creatures

    I can't see them either. And I can't see them mentioned in the Key of Destiny Errata thread in the Dragonlance Forums. (I've even looked for things with similar names, in case this was a name change issue.) Did you mix this up with one of the other errata or do I need to go to Specsavers?

    Dragonlance Unconverted Dragonlance creatures

    Thanks to Cam and Ravenmantle for coming here to help. ...and... I know that a few things (like Wild Elves) are not treated as "official" anymore, but there is bound to be someone out there who wants to use the few monsters that MWP and the Whitestone Council don't like. :D (Bad Dragonlance...

    Spelljammer Unconverted Spelljammer creatures

    Glad to be of assistance. I'll be wanting to use all of these Spelljammer monsters at some point, so this thread and your index are really useful projects. Thanks for collating this information Echohawk. FYI: The Beyond the Moons 3rd editon conversion project is taking some of the really...

    Spelljammer Unconverted Spelljammer creatures

    This is mentioned on Beyond the Moons' Additional Monster Conversions page. Mark Doolan and Adam "Night Druid" Miller have converted the monster into a Wonderseeker Prestige Class. Beyond the Moons has a project to create a PDF called Monsters of Wildspace. You might want to add that to your...

    WotC cancel publication of Dragonlance: Dragons of an Hourglass Mage

    Dragons of an Hourglass Mage, which is believed to be the last Dragonlance novel to be written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman was due out in a few months, but has now been cancelled. Different accounts have been made by the authors and Wizards of the Coast. Tracy Hickman had this to say on...
